How to recover lost Calendar on iPhone?

Lost or accidentally deleted Calendar can be recovered by Apple’s backup utilities. However, sometimes backups too may not restore Calendar. Then an iPhone data recovery software is the only solution.

Methods to recover deleted/lost Calendar on iPhone

2. Restore with iPhone recovery software
3. Recover from iCloud or iTunes Backup
